PRODUCT REVIEW...DOLLAR GENERAL DOG TREATS...

I keep dog treats on hand for Sadie. Every time we play fetch the tennis ball, or go for a walk, I reward her with dog treats. She's real funny. She knows to run up to the top step on the back porch and "sit." Then I throw 'em to her and she catches 'em midair...usually. It's even funnier when she misses the catch...she goes nose-down sniffing like she's a cadaver dog or something.



I always purchase dog treats at The Dollar General Store. This picture is not Sadies' "brand," but it's the only one I could find on the computer to download back up to the computer. I always buy her either "beef tips," or "cheese dogs." But they come from this same company and are sold at The Dollar General Store. I buy The Dollar General Store brand for two reasons.

1) They're cheap.

B) They're just stinkin' dog treats.

Let's examine my two reasons.

1) They're cheap.
Dollar General only charges $1 for a full bag of their dog treats. Heck, you can pay as much as $2.50 at Wal-Mart, or even up to $4 at a grocery store for dog treats.

B) They're just stinkin' dog treats. What idiot really thinks that a dog cares what you throw 'em for a treat? You can reward a dog with hairy old spaghetti, ham that has turned green, or Easter eggs that you forgot you put in the back of the refrigerator two years ago. They don't care!

If you throw it at 'em they're gonna charge for it, and do their best to wolf it down. Heck, after playing ball, I could throw Sadie a rock coated with rat pills and soaked in antifreeze...and she'd gulp it down like rare beef. It's just a stinkin' dog treat.

So I decided to do a product review on The Dollar General Store dog treats because they got the most ignorant writing on the package. Right below where you rip off the seal it says "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed! Or Your Money Back! We Promise!"

Now, what ignorant backwards idiot thinks that a dog will ever be dissatisfied with a dog treat (refer to reason B)? I never had looked real close at the package until the other day, and I just laughed like a backwards idiot when I saw that.

I mean, even if a dog is dissatisfied, what ignorant idiot is gonna spend $2 worth of gas to go back up there to the Dollar Store to get a refund...and how would you even know?

So when I quit laughing, I decided to try an experiment. I went outside and played ball with Sadie for awhile. She did good...real good. She "sat" when I told her. She "stayed" when I told her. She "fetched" when I told her...and found the ball even under the big bushes. She did good!

At "treat time" she excitedly ran to the top step...I threw her the Dollar General Beef Tips as usual...and she caught every one. Then I asked her, "Girl, are you satisfied with your dog treats?" She just looked at me panting...hoping for one more throw. Then a big old drool hit the porch.

I take that as a "yes." Two Thumbs (and 4 paws) Up on The Dollar General Store Dog Treats. One of the better values I've come across lately.
